Minister P.A. Kerstens
NG-1992-3-3-10
Portret van Petrus (Piet) Adrianus Kerstens (1896-1958). Kerstens was tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog minister in het oorlogskabinet in Londen. Hij begon zijn loopbaan als Brabantse onderwijzer, die later les gaf in Nederlands-Indië en daar ook politiek actief werd. Hij maakte in Londen als minister van Handel, Nijverheid en Scheepvaart aanvankelijk een doortastende indruk. Kreeg later competentiegeschillen met zijn ambtsgenoten, kwam in conflict met de reders en viel vanwege enkele onbezonnen beleidsdaden in ongenade, vooral bij de koningin. Hij was verbitterd over zijn ontslag. Na de oorlog Indonesië woordvoerder van de KVP in de Eerste Kamer. Groot voorstander van Europese samenwerking. Deze foto is afkomstig uit de nalatenschap van kunstenaar Cor Visser.
